Hi Michael,<div><br></div><div>Yes, I'd made a few changes to support (some) GE DICOM files, but GE's convention for storing their gradient orientations keeps changing depending on the software version. I'd only coded support for their latest release (I think). Not surprising that it doesn't work for everyone...</div>
<div><br></div><div>Happy to have a look into it if you send me the data. The other option is for you to send me just a dump of the DICOM headers: it's often possible to have a guess as to which entries are important just by having a look at the headers... </div>
<div><br></div><div>You can do dump the headers by running the following little script on your DICOM files, and sending me the output file "dicom_headers.txt.gz". Just make sure you set the /path/to/dicom/files and SeriesNumber to the correct values, and copy/paste into a terminal (I assume you use the BASH shell?). If you know you only have one series (your DW data) in your data folder, you can remove the first 'read_dicom' line. Otherwise, to figure out the correct SeriesNumber, run mrinfo /path/to/dicom/files: the series number is the last entry in square brackets in the series listing.</div>
<div><br></div><div>( cd /path/to/dicom/files</div><div>for name in *; do</div><div>read_dicom -all $name | grep -aq 'SeriesNumber.* 3 ' && </div><div>( </div><div>echo ==============================</div>
<div>echo $name</div><div>echo =============================</div><div>read_dicom -all $name </div><div>); </div><div>done ) | gzip > dicom_header.txt.gz</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Donald.</div>

There was a post regarding incorporating GE diffusion data in October.<br>
Just curious if there is any update. I have diffusion data of which<br>
dcm2nii can read the directions (albeit painfully oriented<br>
incorrectly), but mrconvert gives a "no dicom images found error" on.<br>
Happy to email the anonymized dicom file.<br>
